Losing bookmarks
Answered
I have lost my "bookmarks" a few times.
- Is there a workaround (Situations to avoid)
- Can I export/import them?
- Where are they stored?
Question also goes for breakpoints and "favorites"
Thanks

Hello! Favorites, breakpoints and bookmarks are stored in your project folder in .idea/workspace.xml. They are not intended to be shared with other team members, but you can try to add this file to git.
I found it thanks. Though it is in cmake/.idea - not under CLionProjects.
My bookmarks have been dissapeard, this is 3rd time since Idea 2019.2.
Whats going on here ???
Please Idea team, resolve this problem asap !
Dobri7 please report the issue to the IntelliJ IDEA tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA
Anna, your link leads to a 404. In any case, I just lost all my bookmarks and breakpoints. It supersucks.
I corrected the link, thanks
I don't believe they are still stored in .idea folder inside project directory.
i can't find them there workspace.xml. does not list any bookmarks.
Reinstalled computer without backing up clion settings and bookmarks are gone.
I believe you are correct, Ivan.
I'm in a dev container (but the .idea folder is in the workspace I'm working in).
1) Create a bookmark with the comment “blahblah25”
2) Grep in the container:
grep -rn "blahblah25" /path/to/.idea | cut -d: -f1-2
→ No results.3) However, bookmarks do seem to be referenced in some form:
Could one of the Jetbrains team provide context on what this file is / how to persist it in a docker container please? The name suggests it's designed to be a temp file.
